Our Literary Journey
Celebrating books, fostering community, inspiring minds.
At the Literary Reading Series, we believe in the transformative power of literature to connect people and inspire change. Our curated events bring together book lovers, authors, and educators to explore the rich world of storytelling and literary culture.
Our Story
Founded in 2010, the Literary Reading Series was born out of a community’s desire to connect over their love of books. What started as small gatherings in local cafes has grown into a celebrated platform for literary engagement in Phoenix. Over the years, we have hosted renowned authors, facilitated meaningful discussions, and cultivated a space where readers of all backgrounds feel valued and inspired.
Our team is passionate about nurturing a vibrant literary culture that celebrates diversity and inclusivity. We believe that literature has the power to bridge gaps, spark conversations, and foster understanding across communities. Our mission is to make literary events accessible and enriching for everyone involved.
Our Approach and Values
We take a curated approach to every event, selecting authors and topics that resonate with our community’s interests and cultural diversity. Our programming emphasizes quality content, engaging discussions, and meaningful interactions. We strive to create an inclusive environment where every attendee feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences.
Inclusivity and community engagement are at the heart of everything we do. We actively seek to involve local schools, cultural organizations, and diverse voices to enrich our programming. We also prioritize accessibility, ensuring that our events are welcoming and open to all, regardless of background or reading level.
What Sets Us Apart
Unlike other literary organizations, the Literary Reading Series offers members exclusive access to author events, behind-the-scenes discussions, and priority seating. We believe in fostering deeper connections between readers and writers, which is why we host intimate Q&A sessions and meet-and-greets.
Our commitment to community goes beyond just events; we create a vibrant network of book lovers who support each other’s literary journeys. Whether you’re a student, educator, or lifelong reader, you’ll find a welcoming space here where your love for literature can flourish.
